scorp (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Decontaminator (red, Necro, Galthran, Galthran) 160%, 147

I used both rests and left no room for error, as it was already the second rematch. We spawned in the metro, and from the first turn I scouted: 4 guards of ГО(10-19 ЧД), 20-49 Ice Elementals, 20-49 upgraded Orcs (double guard, as they guarded the portal) and my choice of 20-49 Ogres at the metro exit. At my respawn, I could only take the stone mine, the rest was behind 50-99 Lizardmen — "and thanks for that." 112 popped out, and I had to fight 20-49 Magogs and 50-99 upgraded Faeries, but I still took the Human secondary town on turn 3 and started building it up (since I was playing against Skeletons). 117 Humans had Swordsmen and Cavaliers in the citadel, Dungeon tier 1-5 in the fort (though I didn't even look at Minotaurs). On 123, I hit the Ice Elementals, and there was the native secondary town where I got +1 speed at its respawn. All of the second week I scraped together gold for building. 127 Humans tier 1-7 without tier 3 in the castle, in the native Dungeon I put a citadel on the second and placed Beholders, and I also saw a red scout carrying Galthran's army of 250-499 Skeletons and 10-19 Liches (obviously an external dwelling) and 1-5 Vampires. I barely paid attention to the opponent, as I dove into a portal (which I hadn't been in yet) — let him wander, but I kept him under control. On 131, in a Treasury I explored (but barely fought anything, I saw 2 Angel external dwellings — mine). On 134, I cleared 2 Naga banks, both tier 4. With some clever maneuvers, I managed to clear and buy 2 Angels from the external dwellings on 137 on the last turn (scouts helped — they cleared one portal of glory, all because the turn ticked over and I sped up on a regular Troglodyte, not an Angel), but I didn't summon any summoning portals (not enough gold and I couldn't keep up with the turn ticking over, and I didn't feel like converting all resources). On 141, I cleared Wings of the Netherworld and Shackles of War. My army: 8 Angels, 8 Champions, 69 Troglodytes, and 42 upgraded Evil Eyes (I didn't want to take them into the Dragon Utopia, and nearby I chewed through 27 Wyverns in 2 turns). On 144, I took the Dragon Utopia with 3 ЧД: there were 2 books (Earth, Fire) and a Shield -3/+12, I started portaling through towns to gather Angels and flew to the second Dragon Utopia, landing in front of it on 145, when just a few turns away (him, me one turn from him) Galthran shows up, I took the Dragon Utopia again, 3 ЧД gave a Chalice +6 to all stats (thanks) and a Red Orb (I didn't equip it, though I could have — Skeletons have 5 speed and I had tons of Archers).

147 Shakti gathered everything needed and attacked:

Shakti 17 30 16 16 (200+ mana, Explosion 1500 -250 Skeletons), 14 Angels (I wanted Archers from the second Dragon Utopia, but the opponent didn't run away...), 34 Wyverns (I only hit Beehives along the way, skipped half), 7 Champions, 63 upgraded Evil Eyes, 24 upgraded Swordsmen, 58 Crossbowmen, and 62 Pokemon.

Galthran 8 8 11 10 (100 mana, Pillar 325), 700+ Skeletons, 5 Angels, 20+1+1+1+1 Witches, (24 Liches — apparently he took them to upgrade — but that doesn't matter)

The battle was won.

Thanks for such an engaging game.
